Abstract
The present disclosure provides a communication method and apparatus, a device, a system, and a chip. The method includes: a first network element determining whether a first terminal and a second terminal are connected to the same satellite when the first terminal requests to perform an IMS call with the second terminal. The satellite hosts a first UPF. The first network element transmits an indication message to a second network element upon determining that the first terminal and the second terminal are connected to the same satellite. The indication message is used to indicate that a condition for the first terminal and the second terminal to perform the IMS call via the satellite is met. As a result, the second network element can easily determine through the indication message that the condition for the first terminal and the second terminal to perform the IMS call via the satellite is met.
